Got some commuting and road ride miles in on this bike. The 48x18 gearing is great for flat rides or rolling hills. Got a 20t cog for more hilly rides but have not tried it yet. Will soon put a Midge bar and road levers on and get rid of the bull-horn configuration (not wide enough for yanking on when climbing). Turns out the L frame is a good fit for me, and I am really enjoying the fixed-gear aspect.

Midge bar looks similar to the Cowbell but about 10 mm wider and with a diagonal angle at the top of the drops. I like the feel of my bike a lot more with the Midge bar. The road BB7s work great with these RX100 levers.

Thinking about changing my gearing from 48x18 to 48x20. Most of my riding is relatively flat commuting and workout rides. Rolling hills are OK with the current gearing, but it seems a bit high. What is your gearing on the Pompino?

Six or seven, including Inbreds I have assembled for my kids. If I had the money, I would have scooped up some more frames when they had that one-day 50 percent off sale. Would like something with more squish and a slacker head angle. 456 EVO?

Yeah for $10 bucks a shot

Frosty, foggy day for riding the Pompetamine. I sure like the feel of this bike. Feels like I am inside a cockpit, compared to my mountain bikes.

I am thinking of rigging up a 29er MTB wheel with an Alfine hub to do some long gravel/dirt road riding on the Pomp this summer with cross tires. Was thinking I could switch this wheel over to my steel 29er Inbred for bikepacking, so it would be a dual-purpose wheel.
